    Comment by 'DarkWolf' in article '96 Egg Cabinet Style'

    Got to say this is one of the best DIY cabinets I'd seen. I'm planning on a 144 egg unit soon and have several parts collected. I wonder, any details about the turner, how it works and the framework?

    Coop Construction Day 1

    CLICK HERE TO LEAVE A COMMENT. LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK! Started on framing and got the floor down today. There was a bit of framing stupidity due to me dropping the level of the floor. I just need to scab it out some to support the back wall. Not a big issue. I gave the bottom of the OSB a coat...

    Coop Construction Day 2

    CLICK HERE TO LEAVE A COMMENT. LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK! Spent more time today on the coop. It's been raining alot recently and has disrupted working on it. Managed to get three walls up before we had to call it quits for now. I was really hoping for all four walls. As you can see, the entry...

    Coop Construction Plans

    CLICK HERE TO LEAVE A COMMENT. LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK! :) These are the plans which I laid out when I started working out just what I wanted to do. Several small things have changed, but the base is still there. My plan is for a 10' by 8' coop, set on 4x6 skids resting against cinder block to...

    Ducks-We want some great layers,a broody mother,& friendly

    I've got a flock of Welsh Harlequins I got just because 1) They lay great and 2) They are very friendly. Though I can't fully vouch for either as they're very young still. I won't fully judge them until they're at least a year old.

    Micro Farm DUCK HUT Worklog

    Oh, it's not the two Pekins that are any issue at this point. It's the 11 little WH ducklings. They are such a huge sloppy mess in the chicken coop that we're now overrun with flies.

    Micro Farm DUCK HUT Worklog

    Well the duck hut is together to the point that I don't worry much about the ducks inside. I still have to finish the green roof though and to trim it out. But, I've moved onto the run panels. I've got 8 panels framed and ready for paint. All of which are 39" tall and 8'-3" long. They'll be...

    how how HOW!!!!!!!

    Increased moisture content in the poop compared to chickens causes smells, litter issues and flies. Just a fact of ducks.

    Uses for duck feathers

    The good looking feathers can be cast into resin and turned into turning blanks to make pens. Mostly use tail feathers from chickens and game birds for this, but I'm sure some kinds of duck feathers would make nice pen blanks. That or use them for fly fishing.

    hang up the water "fount" or not?

    Alot of weight to hang, IMO.. I put mine on two concrete cinder blocks.

    Watering Ducks with Chicken Nipples??

    Ducks must be able to submerge their bills in water or they develop sinus issues. I use a gravity waterer, such as this.

    Quote: I would not put that much $ to it for EPDM. I picked up a sheet of UV stabilized PVC liner on eBay dirt cheap. Here's what I figure... It's for a green roof, so I don't have to worry about UV exposure anyway. There's no traffic, so no need to go 40mil thick. Helps to keep costs down...

    (insert noun here) bobcat!!!

    Substitute noun for expletive. Absolutely beautiful cats, but can be quite dangerous to animals and people for that matter.

    My Dog Killed My Duck And Now Im Crying

    Not a matter of guilt or blame. It's one of those life lessons that ends up being either learned well, or not at all. I've seen far too many dogs tossed out for this reason or that when they should not have been. This is not to say that I do not sympathize with the situation and feel sorry for...
